   Your development environment should contain a suitable clone of the   
   production box -- the same hardware (but perhaps on a smaller scale),   
   running the same versions of the operating system and DB2.  In this case,   
   you develop on the development box, and then just install the final   
   executables and SQL language elements on the production server, when they're   
   ready for production.   
      
   If your development environment does not have a clone of your production   
   box, then your production environment is just a mere extension of your   
   development environment -- a risky proposition, at best -- and will be   
   subject to the possiblity of disastrous failure, regardless of your choice   
   of OS or RDBMS.
